*1:

The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of millions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology designed to provide one of the finest possible images. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Please note that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology.

*2:

The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.

In AI mode Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shifting. Lens and legs not included.

Computer Data Compatibility

PT-AX100

This projector accepts up to 70 kHz horizontal scanning frequency and 108 MHz dot clock. See the list of compatible signals on the next page for details.
NOTE: The display resolution of this projector is 1280 x 720 pixels. If the display resolution indicated in the above data does not match this resolution, the input signal will be converted to 1280 x 720 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio) or 960 x 720 pixels (4:3 aspect ratio).

Notes on Projector Placement and Operation The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions. 1. 2. 3. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 200 mm or more around the projectors air intake openings. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the projector is between 0C/32F and 35C/95F. Also make sure the projectors intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake openings.
200 mm (7-7/8) or more 200 mm (7-7/8) or more 200 mm (7-7/8) or more

Direction of Air Intake and Exhaust

Intake Exhaust

Operating the Projector Continuously 1. 2. If the projector is to be operated continuously 10 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
